1 bedroom accommodation in Torver, near Coniston
Retaining original features from when it was the railway station ticket office, enjoy a stay in this unique property whilst exploring the Lakes.. All on the Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: 50" TV, TV, Freesat, DVD Player
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen and towels included. Travel cot. External utility room with tumble dryer (shared).. Sitting-out area with BBQ. Large enclosed lawned garden (shared). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking. Please note: This property has a natural water supply from a well. There is an unfenced 3ft drop, a fenced pond and 4 steps in the garden.. Ticket Office was once part of a former railway station, in the quiet and peaceful hamlet of Torver, and on the doorstep of Coniston Water. There is an abundance of nearby countryside to explore, with nearby Duddon Valley and Lakeland Fells, including Coniston Old Man. The well presented property is perfect for a romantic get away, as you can cuddle up in the cosy, bright living/dining room, and take in the views from the large windows. The wonderful double bedroom, with sumptuous bed linen, adds to the comfort of this lovely property. The property still retains a distinctive feel of its former use, with the crest for the Furness Railway Company still visible on the fireplace, and the original hatch from where tickets were once sold.
The nearby Lakeland villages of Coniston and Hawkshead are idyllic and have an abundance of shops and cafés. For the more adventurous, why not take to the tree top challenge at Grizedale Forest, or venture along the many paths by foot or by bike. For steam enthusiasts, you can still take to the tracks with a ride on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite trains near Ulverston, or the elegant Victorian Steam Yacht Gondola which sails between March and November on Coniston Water. There are so many activities to keep you busy all year round in this wonderful area. Beach 18 miles. Shop 2½ miles, restaurant 100 yards. Ticket Office (ref UK1145) can be booked together with Station Master’s House (ref UK1144) to accommodate up to 7 guests.
The water is from a spring, well or borehole, and not a mains supply.
There are drops in the garden.
Only dogs allowed at the property.
There are steps or steep slopes in the garden.
There is open water in the property grounds.

Absolutely lovely place to stay with everything you need and retaining a lot of the original features.The garden is secure for dogs and the Wilsons Arms is only 100m away serving wonderful food.
We had a wonderful time staying at the ticket office. We will definitely will look at staying there again.

A lovely place.
A lovely place. Great for looking at the stars. Two great pubs nearby that serve great food and dog friendly. The booking office was lovely and clean with all essentials.
Only drawbacks not fenced in so couldn’t let our dog out without being on a lead and very sharp turn into the drive. Nothing that would stop us from returning.

Level access (except for shower over bath) however sofa suite too low. Amenities good including microwave, dishwasher, big TV. Parking ok for 1 car, nice garden area. Water situation not an issue. Fairly well situated for local attractions, local fuel station, takeaways and some shops. Friendly owner and helpful. Recommended.

Lovely little cottage, warm and cosy with well thought out modern amenities such as nest heating, nice shower and induction hob. The extra heated towel rail in the kitchen and fan heater as well as large heated towel rail in bathroom kept these areas toasty and meant there was space for drying stuff in wet weather, again well thought out and came in very handy.
Other useful things provided above our expectations like tin foil & cling film for sandwiches, and cleaning products which were all eco friendly.
Overall very clean with nice bathroom, although a couple of cobwebs in ceiling corners/ lightshades - understandable in a country cottage with stone walls but had obviously been there a while so missed during routine turnarounds.
Fab location, we walked into Coniston via lake shore and up the Old Man of Coniston right from our door, and within easy driving distance of loads of other great places, Tarn Hows, Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead and Grizedale, all within half an hour or so, and only 20 mins drive to the big Booths supermarket at Ulverstone for supplies.
Nice secure garden for dog with pond safely fenced off, if we'd had better weather, I'm sure we'd have made use of the bbq and outdoor seating too.
Overall we had a great week and would stay here again.
